Fluffy

There's nothing quite like the magic of snow. White covering everything in something that feels like a blanket of purity. And though we may be hiding at home, it's the winter animals' time to absolutely thrive. 

One of our favorite winter animals is the fluffy, gorgeous arctic fox. Arctic foxes are honestly just as pure as snow, both because of how perfectly white they are, and that's beautiful, but also because... they're foxes, and is there anything purer than foxes? Arguable. Foxes are always adorable and wholesome, but arctic foxes in the snow really bring out that wintry magic. 

Snow leopards are everything. They just are. They are the purrfect blend of fierceness, cuteness, and just overall beauty. Their gorgeous fur and they're oh so fluffy! We don't think we could ever get tired of looking at such purrfection. 

International Snow Leopard Day was just a few days ago and we must honor these beauties by looking at their adorable pictures and watching their squeal-worthy videos. Did you know that snow leopards can't roar like their other feline friends? Instead, snow leopards use a call which has been described as a 'piercing yowl' that is so loud, it can be heard over the roar of a river!  

There is said to be only as few as 4000 snow leopards left in the wild. However, because they are so incredibly inclusive, it's difficult to get an accurate number. Snow leopards are being threatened due to climate change, habitat loss and deterioration, poaching, and more. Read about how you can help save these elusive beauties. 

A majority of the photographs below are taken by the talented @walkuptosky on Instagram. Check out her photography for endless incredible animal photographs, you won't be disappointed. 

Fluffy white cats are actually ghosts, did you know that? They're so white, it's enough for them to stand in front of a wall, and we will not see them at all anymore. They're perfect for Halloween time, dressed and ready any time and all the time. They're stunningly beautiful, these snow white kitties, and looking at them, all we want is to press our noses into their fluffy white bellies. 

But they're scary too! Of course! Don't forget! They're ghosts, ooOOoh, so scary. They're almost as scary as adorable black cats who are also ready for Halloween all the time. Really, we just want to appreciate as many cats as possible of as many colors as possible. It's just... cats. Cats are our ultimate weakness. And terrifying ooOOoh ghost cats are some of the absolute best. 

Dogs are a person's best friends, and we're theirs. But what happens when you aren't home and they get a little lonely? Well, you must get them a stuffed animal buddy. And not just for your dogs. All animals could use an extra tiny soft friend to cuddle with and care for, even hedgehogs and owls.

And to make them feel more familiar, get them a stuffed animal that looks just like them. Perhaps there will be some confusion at first, but they'll become best friends quickly. And for us, their doppelganger love will make for the most wholesome and adorable picture moments, just like the ones you're about to see right now. 

Rise fluffy and adorable animals of darkness -- it is your month! Welcome back to our Spooktober special where we celebrate the entire month of by featuring Halloweenie-inspired animals! That means black cats, animals of darkness, adorable bats, and costumes galore! Spooktober is one of our all-time favorite months because of all these beautiful animals that finally get even more of a spotlight shined on them. 

These animals of darkness have a few things in common, one, they're obviously all dark, and second, they're obviously all cute and fluffy, and we don't need a third. 

Get ready to celebrate this spooky month with our not-so-spooky animals of darkness: 

There's something about super fluffy cats... a majestic aura that is absolutely undeniable. And you can tell that they feel that power too. The way they walk is full of pride, their floofy tails held up high. They recognize that they are the rulers of that space, and we agree. 

Just running your fingers through the fluff on that tail feels like getting to touch something magical, and some cats' tails are fluffier and more majestic than most. All that said, those cats sure do leave a lot of fur all over the place. That's okay though, we forgive them. We wear that fur on our clothes with pride. 

There's a reason that one of the ultimate prizes for any cat owner is having their cat stretch and turn and yawn and allow us to rub its soft fluffy squishy belly. It's one of the ultimate indicators of trust that cats have. It shows you just how comfortable they are with you. So, we all have the biggest soft spot for cat bellies. 

Combine that with the soft spot that we have for big wild cats being adorable and boom ultimate cuteness. So, as a special treat, today, we've collected a bunch of pictures of big cats showing off their big bellies. Cubs and adults alike, sometimes you just gotta let loose and let your belly hang free. We only wish we could reach into the screen and give those bellies some love.
